Yes, I’m moving out of the country. I never wanted to live full-time in the US, but I had relationships, then kids and got stuck. If I knew people who looked like me would be overseas, I would have moved in a heartbeat, while my girls were babies. I’m in my fifties, my kids are grown, I’m getting my affairs in order to cross the ocean!

Bangkok is the most visited city on earth for a reason - the people, food, culture, vibrancy etc. Just like you described. It's an exciting place, plus it is affordable. It is the best hub to travel around Asia from Tokyo to Dubai. You're right in the middle of the action.

Well said!

I haven’t lived outside of the country since I was in the military years ago. There were a few things that stuck in my mind from my time in Seoul… The peace. The cost of living. The culture and natural landscapes. And how friendly, pleasant, and genuinely helpful people were… Coming from New Jersey, it took a minute for me to let my guard down and accept all of the things stated above. Especially people being nice and helpful without any negative motives.

I plan to move there later this year. I love that other Bw are moving abroad to exotic places! Thanks for making this video!

Living outside the box can be a mid blowing experience. I have been blessed with that nomadic gene. The first time I left home was a move to Chicago, then after that the world has been my oyster. I am so thankful to be able to say, been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

I share your love for Bangkok. And you're so right about the people. They are passive, polite and tolerant. Even though they may not be rich they are self respecting dignified people. I am preparing myself to return to Bangkok. I miss it already.

Im working on something and WHEN (not if) it takes off i do believe I'd like to spend a little time (to start) in Thailand. Visiting other countries last year and being in a happier environment really made a huge difference on my mental health. I can definitely attest to the environment making a difference.

Thailand is the paradise and second home for all visitor !!!

Love this surprise vlog! Very informative my good sis! Thailand is glowing on you. Much peace and blessings . 💜

Another great video! I can’t wait to visit Thailand 🤗

Would love to leave the US.

I can’t wait to visit Thailand

Thanks for choosing Thailand 🎉🎉🎉

Greetings Antoinette, I must firstly say Thank You for sharing Your Journey with us 🦋💕 I moved from England to Jamaica over 12 years ago. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions i have made. My quality of life, holistically, is on another level 💕 Nothing beats Harmony within Mind Body & Soul. I must say that the times we are living in now One must Know & Understand Self and with that do what is Ultimately Best for Self. Wishing You and All Blessings in Overflow for 2024 🦋🙏🏾💕

Welcome to Thailand!

I’m definitely planning to move to Thailand which brought me to your video. Thank you! I found it very helpful and encouraging to go for it

Love your energy! We were in Bangkok couple of months ago and loved it. So vibrant!

Would love to travel one day but until then thanks for sharing your journey and adventures with us❤

Absolutely, I’ve often thought of living overseas many times. First, it was Hawaii, Maui in particular, then it was Costa Rica, then it was Guatemala, then it was Belize. The first three I visited, however, I’ve never visited Belize. So absolutely I have thought about moving overseas.

yes yes and yes, so happy for you you encourage me.

It looks like heaven there! And the vibe- just with the people being nice and real and respectful- I want to live around that!

Your happiness is genuinely uplifting to see. The idea of living as an expat has been on my mind, especially after spend a year in a camper van. Though Thailand wasn't initially on my list, your experience has opened my eyes to new possibilities for this adventure.

Everything about Thailand is appealing with one HUGE exception for me .. the heat. I can’t take the heat, literally 😂❤

Yes, I have thought about it. Not a day pass without it crossing my mind. You are absolutely correct about what your environment does to you and why it's important to be in a place that nourishes your soul. You look so happy and relieved. I'm glad you found a place that gives you that energy. I am where you were (mentally) in one of your last videos before you made that leap. Where you couldn't put your finger on it, but obviously, you knew you had to change something. Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration. Never thought of Bangkok, but the way it has you glowing, I may need to investigate!!😂

Thank you 😍🙏🪷🇹🇭☀️

I ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thailand. Visited in 2022. Thinking of retiring early and moving there.

Assalamualaikum yes I moved all the way to west Africa. Gambia to be exact. 2019 it just held on to me the day to stepped off the plane. I went back and forth. Came as a traveling photographer and couldn't leave. There was a need and now I'm running a small business helping people with mental health issues. I enjoy your content because it offers something new. Your videos are jam packed with enough information where I can truly get a feel for who you are. I can get a feeling for what you have to offer it's more than just your content. So I appreciate your dedication and seemingly hard work. Happy New Year yet again. 💜🙏🏿Inshallah MASHALLAH ALHAMDULILLAH AMEEN 🎉

Awesome and informative video. I've never thought about living in Thailand, but your videos now have my thoughts buzzing. Perhaps in another video can you explain your visa process and/or which visa you are on in order to stay there for at least a year? Thanks, you are always helpful and enlightening!

I have traveled to many countries in Asia and the other 5 populated continents, but I have frequented Thailand much more because I find to be the best country to visit and reside (future). I am not a big city guy, but Bangkok offers something unique to the adventure traveler, a central hub to the rest of the country.

I'm Bangkok now, just got back yesterday, been touring Thailand and Vietnam for the past four months but I'm happy to say outside of Chang Mai, I'm excited to be back in Bangkok. Like you I too am a digital nomad here from America for all the same reasons, lower cost of living while I'm trying to grow my course business. I'm more mature just turned 60 a couple of months ago and I truly believe this city in particular could be new hub for a while, just trying to figure out the whole visa thing any advice? How are you able to navigate all of that?

Yes I’m trying to come visit Bangkok this year to see how I like it and in the future possibly move my mom‘s not too fond of it because I have epilepsy and she says I need to have a stable safety net but I haven’t had a seizure in a yearand as soon as the doctors give me the OK I’m gone

I am interested in spending 3-4 months in several places like Cuba, France, Greece, and Switzerland.

I have lived in another country and it was awesome. I think that the States is just not open to changing for the better of its residents when it comes down to it. Like making public transportation more accessible for all would help the economy not harm it and yet we have 2 or 3 good subway systems even seeing how BIG this country is. Then there is the safety that you have to worry about if you need to or choose to take the public transport here. What is hard about saying “ hey we are going to take some of those tax dollars and turn sections of the train into areas for women and children only”? But anyways, I lived in South Korea. The metro system and just public transport overall is very good. It’s easy to get used to. I have thought about living in Thailand. I visited Chiang Mai and it was so amazing! Maybe one day. I’m working on creating a more mobile life, if that makes sense. Great video!

I am a southern belle from Texas and I've lived in Germany. I am very interested in living........ not in U.S again.
